Famous quotes containing the words storm and/or names:

    Jesus, Lover of my soul, Let me to thy bosom fly,
    While the nearer waters roll, While the tempest still is high;
    Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, Till the storm of life be past;
    Safe into the haven guide, O receive my soul at last.
    Charles Wesley (1707–1788)

    At present our only true names are nicknames.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
